<p>
This module defines three dictionaries, <code>name2codepoint</code>,
<code>codepoint2name</code>, and <code>entitydefs</code>. <code>entitydefs</code> is
used by the <tt class="module"><a href="module-htmllib.html">htmllib</a></tt> module to provide the
<tt class="member">entitydefs</tt> member of the <tt class="class">HTMLParser</tt> class.  The
definition provided here contains all the entities defined by XHTML 1.0 
that can be handled using simple textual substitution in the Latin-1
character set (ISO-8859-1).

<p>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-1709' xml:id='l2h-1709'>entitydefs</tt></b></dt>
<dd>
  A dictionary mapping XHTML 1.0 entity definitions to their
  replacement text in ISO Latin-1.

<p>
<dl><dt><b><tt id='l2h-1710' xml:id='l2h-1710'>name2codepoint</tt></b></dt>
